We're so excited to announce we will be opening with a soft launch from this Friday (3rd)! It's actually happening!

Our projector was installed yesterday and our chairs arrived today.
Golly gosh!

Hey guys!

We're looking for a little architectural & building regs advice, prior to submitting our plans to building control.

To make sure we've not overlooked anything, we'd really appreciate the chance to show an architect (or similarly knowledgable person) our plans. In particular we're aware that Building Regs 2010 Approved Document B contains innumerable potential pitfalls, and we're hoping someone might be able to have a quick look and flag anything that needs attention...

If this could be you or you know someone else who might be able to help, we'd love to have a chat at [email protected].

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine! :)

Hello everyone.

The Castle Cinema is in need of some graphic design and web wizardry. We've done a lot of work on the brand and have decided on the direction we’d like to take it in, but now we need some artistic flair.

We’ve put together a creative brief which outlines our objectives, insights and what we need, including (amongst other things):

- Logo, fonts, colours, etc (i.e. style guide)
- Front-end website design
- Front-end website development
- and more…!

If anyone is keen or knows someone else who is keen to give all or some of this a go with us, drop us an email to [email protected]. We’d love to see examples of past work, know what you’d be keen to tackle and send you over the brief.

Hey guys,

We've made a little video to let you all know how we've been getting on with things at The Castle Cinema.
(Don't worry, we're not going to be in charge of graphic design...)

Check out our Kickstarter update for a bit more info - tinyurl.com/jrb4bsv

Much love, Dee & Ash x

We've been busy working on design ideas and a project timeline for The Castle Cinema. Things are just about beginning to fall into place and we're dead excited to start getting our hands messy!

We've got a bundle of great ideas about how we want the space to look, but first we need some advice on it's current condition and how to make the changes we need.

Do you know a friendly builder or electrician? If you think you or someone you know might be able to help, give us a wave or send us an email to [email protected].

Looking forward to getting this show on the road. We'll be sure to let everyone know when it's time to get the rollers and overalls out!
